Biggest Stock Decliners Year to Date on AMEX

Today we are looking at companies that have had the greatest percentage decrease in share price year to date.

Bottom 25 Companies

Lists like these are always interesting to look at as they tell more than one story. Companies that are experiencing dramatic decreases in share price can do so for a variety of reasons including, the sector they are in has turned (such as companies in an unfavorable commodities space or a sector that has been disrupted), or the company is experiencing financial difficulties generally due to an inability to service its debt.

In this list we have selected the top 25 companies based on their percentage decrease in share price year to date.

Trading at Less than Cash Value

Today we are looking at companies trading at less than cash value meaning companies whose current share price is less than the cash per share on the balance sheet. We also show the value of cash net debt per share to show how much cash per share would be left if the debt was paid off.

What this Means…

Companies can have more cash per share than the actual share price for a number of reasons including they just raised capital, are in industries that experience high burn rates and will eat through the cash quickly or if there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company. Companies earning a positive net income will have a P/E greater than 0 and are worth exploring in more detail.

Trading at Less than Cash Value

Today we are looking at companies trading at less than cash value meaning companies whose current share price is less than the cash per share on the balance sheet. We also show the value of cash net debt per share to show how much cash per share would be left if the debt was paid off.

What this Means…

Companies can have more cash per share than the actual share price for a number of reasons including they just raised capital, are in industries that experience high burn rates and will eat through the cash quickly or if there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company. Companies earning a positive net income will have a P/E greater than 0 and are worth exploring in more detail.
